Unfortunately, due to an incident which occurred this past weekend which I can't get into, I think I'll have to take a break from writing. I'm not sure how long this break will be. However, I've been shaky ever since the incident, have had trouble eating and sleeping, have suffered from nightmares/night-terrors, have gotten slightly paranoid about even stepping outside of the house, seem to be suffering from short-term memory loss, have felt a constant sense of nausea and heartache (along with fatigue and weakness), and have at least temporarily lost the focus necessary to get much work done.

I just ask for your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Thanks.

So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
